Just an Othello variant. With creepy graphics.

Chrono Trigger was and still is a "must have" for RPG lovers. And not only for the historical importance of the game, but because even today, after fourteen years from the first release, there are few Jrpg that can compete against the Square-Enix title for the supremacy regarding plot, screenplay, character charisma and emotive impact. Anyway, to fully appreciate this game, the player have to ignore an evident technical backwardness, that the porting have not wiped out.

Age of Empire: Mythologies is one of the best strategic game available on Nintendo DS. The variety of game mode ensure a high replay value, the gameplay is deep and complex, and the graphical engine put on the screen discrete models.

The game looks "old": standard gameplay, standard "love and war stories", and a graphical engine that doesn't shows any virtues.

Namco Museum: Virtual Arcade will probably find a place in the hearts of old gen players. With 25 classic games and 9 live arcade this game could be a good choice for players that wants to revive the golden age of the videogames: the glorious '80!

Naruto Clash Of Ninja Revolution 2 European Version is a good game, it has a great number of game modes and characters. Unfortunately, the inexplicable difference between the classic control scheme and the Wiimote one, with some of the fighting mechanics merely cut off when you play with a normal pad, are there to discourage beat’em up fans.

Tree Of Tranquillity will please both the newcomers and the fans of the brand. By reducing the complexity of some actions and enriching the gameplay’s structure it stands in the series’ high spots. There are some issues: festival are less fun than usual, and the character design differs a lot from the classic. But these are collateral elements, and those who are looking for a solid Harvest Moon experience will find what they want.

Battle Fantasia is a solid Beat'em Up, an exemplar new IP. Great characters and deep gameplay mechanics, supported by an unusual variety, make Arc System title an hidden gem. Unfortunately, the game reaches PAL market a few years after its original release, and that means that graphic engine isn't excellent. With more game modes (and a budget price), the title could have been a must buy.

MillionHeir is a very singular game. It has a good graphical and acoustic system and, most of all, it has an unique style, linked to “objet trouvé” and “ready-made” aesthetic wave. On the other hand, the gameplay mechanic is a little bit linear and repetitious. If Big Fish Games had offered more diversions to the central formula, MillionHeir would have been a great game, suitable even for the graphical adventure fans, and not only for extravagances lovers.

Emergency 4 is an exciting and funny game despite some technical problems. Gameplay is its strong point: it's really involving to see that your decisions make a difference between the life or death of dozens of people. Definitely a good game to buy.

A Vampyre Story is a good game that combines a classic gameplay with an interesting storyline and an accurate character design. Despite that it presents a lot of bugs and an awful translation from English to Italian.

The Driving model is almost perfect (even better than GT5 Prologue's?), and there is a great number of game modes, cars and tracks. Unfortunately, AI is terrible and the visual look not so sharp.
